About this map

Salol serves as the primary hub in this corner of Roseau County, centered around a Po and the junction of Mn-11 and several section-line roads. The landscape is defined by the highly organized drainage system of northern Minnesota, specifically the long, straight channel of County Ditch Number Seven which cuts across the terrain to manage the low-lying prairie.

Genealogists and local historians can locate two distinct burial grounds, Spruce Cem in the northwest and Fairview Cem further south, which mark the early community's footprint. The natural hydrology is still visible through the winding paths of Bear Cr and Cow Cr, which meander through the grid of avenues and streets. This survey captures a moment when the rural agricultural structure remains firmly in place, even as modern routes like Co Hwy-13 and Co Hwy-2 connect the area to the wider region.
